​Collagen rejuvenation therapy Microneedling

Collagen Induction therapy - "microneedling"

Collagen Induction Therapy is the most specific and advanced form of skin micro needling. The process harnesses the body's own natural power to heal, restore and rejuvenate; promoting increased production of collagen and elastin for improved overall skin tone and texture. CIT is a safe and less invasive alternative to laser treatments. CIT is used to treat various facial and body skin issues such as wrinkles, sagging skin, stretch marks, acne scars, breast surgery, burns, sun damage (hyperpigmentation), hyper-pigmented dark spots, tucks, facelift scars and more. Skin will often appear thicker, more plump.

How Collagen Induction Therapy (Microneedling) Works

Microneedling devices cause controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing process. As the skin begins to heal, it goes through a three-phase wound repair process:  
  1. Inflammation. Piercing the skin triggers the immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.  
  2. Proliferation. The wound is rebuilt with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix.  
  3. Remodeling. The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.   
 Due to the non-invasive nature, microneedling sessions usually require little downtime and works for all skin types- dark to fair.

What is Microneedling?

What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also referred to as skin needling, collagen induction and micro channeling takes advantage of the skin’s self-repair process by creating thousands of precise micro-injuries to the dermis. This triggers new collagen synthesis without causing new scar tissue formation. This minimally invasive treatment stimulates your skin’s natural ability to repair itself and maximizes collagen and elastin production.

For  Microneedling Collagen Induction Therapy treatments we use Candela Exceed® It is FDA-approved microneedling device designed to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars on the face and body. Traditional derma-rollers are dangerous as they can bend, break, or even rust, resulting in possible infection or scarring with reuse. Our device uses adjustable length and control of speed i.e., RPM, to penetrate at a 90-degree angle, at a customizable depth. This adjustability allows for differences in skin thickness and skin types, as well as enhanced safety. We can also use the device for the treatment of wrinkles on the neck to help improve dermal lines resulting in improvement post-treatment of 30-90 days. We add on stem growth factor solution or copper peptide to aid in fast healing, reduce inflammation, and amplify results.

Which conditions can be treated?
Pore size, skin texture, fine lines, minor scaring, and crepe skin can be treated with a shallow needle depth (approximately 0.5mm).
Fine lines and scaring may be treated with a medium needle depth (approximately 1.0 mm).

Deep acne scarring, surgical and deeper scars, wrinkles, pore size and skin texture can be treated with the deepest needle depth (approximately 1.5mm to 2.0mm).

Am I a candidate?
Because it is minimally invasive and doesn’t cause significant wounding of skin, virtually anybody can safely undergo microneedling therapy. Even those with thin skin can undergo treatment since the depth of penetration can be finely controlled.

Benefits of treatment
  • Microneedling helps reduce the signs of aging, improve the appearance of acne scars, and rejuvenates aging skin.
  • Minimally invasive procedure performed in-office with little recovery time
  • Safe for all skin types, light to dark
  • Effective on many body parts, including face, neck and décolletage
 
How do I prepare for the treatment?
Chemical peels, Retin-A, or other exfoliating creams must not be used prior to your visit. During your initial consultation we will go over your skin care regimen and answer any questions you may have.

What happens during treatment?
Though treatment is relatively painless we typically start by applying a topical anesthetic cream 15-20 minutes before the procedure. This allows for a comfortable experience for most people. Generally, patients report feeling just the slight vibration of the device during the procedure. In one study of microneedling used to treat acne scars, the patients’ average pain rating was only 1.08 out of 10. The total treatment time depends on which part of your body we are treating. For the face, a typical appointment takes about an hour.

Is post-treatment care needed, and is there any downtime?
It is important to keep your skin hydrated after any treatment while the skin resurfaces with new growth. Moisturizers with anti-inflammatory ingredients following the treatment will soothe the area and calm any redness. Exfoliators and alcohol-based toners should not be used until your skin has healed. Always use a good sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, but especially after this type of procedure. Most patients have some slight swelling and redness/pinkness (like a mild to moderate sunburn) for two to four days following the microneedling procedure.

Can I wear make-up immediately following a procedure?
Patients typically can resume their full normal makeup regimen two to three days following the microneedling procedure, depending on the area and depth of needle penetration and type of makeup worn.

How many procedures are recommended?
Three to four treatments are usually required for best results spaced out 30 days. For more severe scarring up to six treatments or more may be needed based on the scarf size, duration of time that has lapsed, etc. The number of treatments can be determined based upon your individual goals and the overall health of your skin. As part of your anti-aging routine, you may opt for one to two procedures a year to help maintain the rejuvenating effects.

Can this treatment be used as part of a combo therapy?
Yes, as with most of our skin treatments, microneedling can be combined with other restorative procedures to help achieve your overall goals. Often these combination treatments must be done separately since the micro-puncturing of the skin triggers the wound-healing process that must be given time complete.

What’s the science?
There are three phases to the wound-repair process triggered by microneedling:
  • Phase I: Inflammation. Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow, and begin to create new tissue.
  • Phase II: Proliferation. The wound is rebuilt with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.
  • Phase III: Remodeling. The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.
​
In one study of sixty patients with acne scarring, three microneedling treatments resulted in a 31 percent improvement in skin texture, with no discoloration of the skin. Microneedling is effective for all skin types.
